Finally

a "dead on" accurate replica of the long talked-about famed #7011 Halibrand wheels that were offered as a dealer option by Studebaker for the 1963-64 Avantis, Hawks, and Larks. The new wheels are both affordable and 100% USA made. They are made out of aluminum not magnesium as the originals were. They are being produced and offered by Real Rodders Wheels who has over 30 years experience making the finest one-piece cast wheels in the hot rodding industry.

Real Rodders Wheels starts by using only the finest 356 virgin aluminum alloy with no regrinds or remelts. All wheels are one-piece cast just as the originals, in our US foundry using today's state-of-the-art tooling and casting methods.Unlike the originals, today's Wheels are manufactured up to OEM specs and testing, with today's safety standards built in such as tire safety beads, rim and tire bead seat angle,radial cornering and crash testing etc and are tubeless..

Wheel molds were made from an original OEM NOS wheel supplied by Studebaker Club authority Jon Myer. Upon Jon's suggestion we added equally to each side of the wheel to arrive at a 15 x 6 width for both better handling and tire selection.

Wheels are offered in the original standard finish of oxidized magnesium gray centers over cast wheel, with machined highlights on the rib face and outer rim with custom finishes also being available. Bolt patterns 5 on 4 ½ standard, plus custom patterns The wheels can also be custom widened to 15 x 10+ inches. The spinners are also exact replicas of the originals and are being offered thru Myer's Studebaker Parts. 15 x 6 aluminum wheel pricing starts at $349.00 each plus spinners.

Click on pictures to enlarge.

These are the brand new "Winged Express" wheels. It comes in 15x4½ with bolts showing or without. The pictures are of a prototype rough
machined out of billet aluminum. To make this wheel the actual wheel off of the Winged Express was used. So for the first time ever
we're offering the wheels off of arguably the most famous AA fuel altered in history. I would like to thank Al "Mousie" Marcellus for the
wheel allowing and us to use it. For more details please call at (805)402-2212.

Rich Guasco's "Pure Hell" AA/Fuel
Altered

"The wheels are absolutely beautiful!"

Rich Guasco - Owner, Pure Hell AA/Fuel Altered - Pleasanton, CA

Easily one of the most famous of the highly popular AA/Fuel Altereds of the
1960s, Rich Guasco's Pure Hell was first driven by Dale Emery in 1964 with a
small-block Chevy from Guasco's previous Top Fuel dragster. The Chevy was
replaced by a Chrysler Hemi for the 1966 season. Not only was Pure Hell one of
the most-booked cars on the West Coast, but it also toured the country, racing
against other AA/Fuel Altered legends such as Willie Borsch's Winged Express.
The car was taken out of action prematurely when it was damaged in a New Mexico
towing accident, and the engine was placed in the chassis of Ed Carter's Proud
American early Corvette Funny Car. Guasco eventually rebuilt the original Pure
Hell, and it resides in its restored form at the museum.

HEADLIGHTS

available now-$325 per pair

The headlight on the left is a King Bee, the
middle one is our product, and the one on the right is the Dietz. This is to
show you a comparison between the styles.

This year at the 60th Annual Grand
National Roadster Show, our Muroc Roadster Race Car won 1st Place in its
category - Altered Competition Roadster. We just wanted to let all of our
sponsors know that we are so proud of this car, and all of the attention and
recognition it has received.

Thanks so much for being part of the
"family" and part of this awesome little car. FYI, our other Muroc, the Full
Fendered, also won for "America's Most Beautiful Roadster - Outstanding
Engineering". Not bad, huh?

The Kugel Family

This famous '28 Chevy has been around since the beginning. It
used to have Halibrand wheels, but Hugh replaced them with Real Rodders Wheels
because of the beauty, durability, sheer ease of maintenance and, of course, the
correct vintage look they give this car.

Here you can see our Bolt-On Spindle Mount wheels in both
versions. The lug nut version is shown on the front of the '32 roadster below,
and the bolt-from-behind version is shown on the front of the '34 sedan
above.

"TRANSFORMERS"
MOVIE UPDATE

A customer sent us an email
recently, informing us that he is building a replica of the first version of the
BumbleBee Camaro in the movie. "I want the exact same brand, style, and
size as the rear wheels on the character car in the movie" Marko said. He
sent us this picture of one of the movie cars being transported on a trailer. We
gladly obliged Marko.

We supplied the movie production
company with several sets of our 15 x 10 Original wheels for the several Camaros
they used up in the movie, as shown below. Like
the "General Lee" '69 Dodge Charger, the "BumbleBee" '76 Camaro is
quickly becoming a popular project car for replica car builders.

If you have been to Bonneville lately you would have noticed a lot
of our wheels on the hot rods out there. Ken Schnieders has some tips on how to
keep your Real Rodders Wheels looking good on the salt flats.
